Factory Licence in Assam
Assam is witnessing rapid industrial growth,
especially in sectors like petroleum, tea, food processing, and handicrafts.
Setting up a manufacturing unit in the state requires mandatory compliance with
safety and labour regulations. The Factory Licence is one of the most important
approvals needed before commencing operations. Non-compliance can result in
heavy penalties and business disruptions.
My Online Vakeel provides expert legal and compliance services across Assam (Guwahati, Dibrugarh, Silchar, Jorhat, Tezpur, Nagaon, etc.). We offer complete end-to-end support for Factory Plan Approval, Registration, Renewal, and Amendments through the official portals.
What is a Factory Licence?
A Factory Licence is an official certificate issued by the Chief Inspector of Factories, Assam, under the Factories Act, 1948. It legally authorizes the occupier to use the premises as a factory after verifying compliance with health, safety, welfare, and building standards. The licence must be displayed prominently at the factory site.
Legal Framework Governing Factory Licence
The process is governed by the Factories Act, 1948 (Central Act) and the Assam Factories Rules. Applications are primarily processed through the Assam Single Window Clearance System (SWCS) and the Labour & Employment Department portal. The state government has introduced several reforms under Ease of Doing Business to simplify and expedite approvals.
Who Needs a Factory Licence?
You must obtain a Factory Licence if your
establishment qualifies as a “factory”:
10 or more workers employed with the aid of
power on any day in the preceding 12 months, or
20 or more workers employed without the aid
of power.
This applies to manufacturing, processing, repairing, or any related industrial activity.
